Lee Johnston will make a welcome return to the Isle of Man TT Races with the Ashcourt Racing team, confirming his 2024 entry having been forced out from last year’s event through injury.
Johnston missed the 2023 event due to life-threatening injuries sustained at the preceding North West 200.
He will line up on Glencrutchery Road in just over four months’ time, campaigning a Honda CBR1000RR-R SP in the RST Superbike, RL360 Superstock and Milwaukee Senior Races, and an Aprilia RS 660 in the two Carole Nash Supertwin Races.
“It’s never good to miss a year at the TT, but even more so when the weather was as good as it was last year. The amount of track time and the sheer number of laps completed saw the game move on considerably. You’ve got to do 130mph+ now to win a Supersport race which is unreal.”

As well as the Isle of Man TT, Johnston will return to the North West 200 and also plans to contest a full season in the British Supersport Championship having finished third and fourth overall in 2021 and 2022 respectively.
